   6 ## Installation
   7
   8 **Please don't install PeerTube for production on a small device behind a low bandwidth connection (example: a Raspberry PI behind your ADSL link) because it could slow down the fediverse.**
   9
  10 ### Dependencies
  11
  12 Follow the steps of the [dependencies guide](dependencies.md).
  13
  14 ### PeerTube user
  15
  16 Create a `peertube` user with `/var/www/peertube` home:
  17
  18 ```
  19 $ sudo useradd -m -d /var/www/peertube -s /bin/bash -p peertube peertube
  20 ```
  21
  22 Set its password:
  23 ```
  24 $ sudo passwd peertube
  25 ```
  26
  27 ### Database
  28
  29 Create the production database and a peertube user inside PostgreSQL:
  30
  31 ```
  32 $ sudo -u postgres createuser -P peertube
  33 $ sudo -u postgres createdb -O peertube peertube_prod
  34 ```
  35
  36 ### Prepare PeerTube directory
  37
  38 Fetch the latest tagged version of Peertube
  39 ```
  40 $ VERSION=$(curl -s https://api.github.com/repos/chocobozzz/peertube/releases/latest | grep tag_name | cut -d '"' -f 4) && echo "Latest Peertube version is $VERSION"
  41 ```
  42
  43 Open the peertube directory, create a few required directories
  44 ```
  45 $ cd /var/www/peertube && sudo -u peertube mkdir config storage versions && cd versions
  46 ```
  47
  48 Download the latest version of the Peertube client, unzip it and remove the zip
  49 ```
  50 $ sudo -u peertube wget -q "https://github.com/Chocobozzz/PeerTube/releases/download/${VERSION}/peertube-${VERSION}.zip"
  51 $ sudo -u peertube unzip peertube-${VERSION}.zip && sudo -u peertube rm peertube-${VERSION}.zip
  52 ```
  53
  54 Install Peertube
  55 ```
  56 $ cd ../ && sudo -u peertube ln -s versions/peertube-${VERSION} ./peertube-latest
  57 $ cd ./peertube-latest && sudo -H -u peertube yarn install --production --pure-lockfile
  58 ```
  59
  60 ### PeerTube configuration
  61
  62 Copy example configuration:
  63
  64 ```
  65 $ cd /var/www/peertube && sudo -u peertube cp peertube-latest/config/production.yaml.example config/production.yaml
  66 ```
  67
  68 Then edit the `config/production.yaml` file according to your webserver
  69 configuration.
  70
  71 ### Webserver
  72
  73 We only provide official configuration files for Nginx.
  74
  75 Copy the nginx configuration template:
  76
  77 ```
  78 $ sudo cp /var/www/peertube/peertube-latest/support/nginx/peertube /etc/nginx/sites-available/peertube
  79 ```
  80
  81 Then modify the webserver configuration file. Please pay attention to the `alias` keys of the static locations.
  82 It should correspond to the paths of your storage directories (set in the configuration file inside the `storage` key).
  83
  84 ```
  85 $ sudo vim /etc/nginx/sites-available/peertube
  86 ```
  87
  88 Activate the configuration file:
  89
  90 ```
  91 $ sudo ln -s /etc/nginx/sites-available/peertube /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/peertube
  92 ```
  93
  94 To generate the certificate for your domain as required to make https work you can use [Let's Encrypt](https://letsencrypt.org/):
  95
  96 ```
  97 $ sudo systemctl stop nginx
  98 $ sudo vim /etc/nginx/sites-available/peertube # Comment ssl_certificate and ssl_certificate_key lines
  99 $ sudo certbot --authenticator standalone --installer nginx --post-hook "systemctl start nginx"
 100 $ sudo vim /etc/nginx/sites-available/peertube # Uncomment ssl_certificate and ssl_certificate_key lines
 101 $ sudo systemctl reload nginx
 102 ```
 103
 104 Remember your certificate will expire in 90 days, and thus needs renewal.
 105
 106 Now you have the certificates you can reload nginx:
 107
 108 ```
 109 $ sudo systemctl reload nginx
 110 ```
 111
 112 ### Systemd
 113
 114 Copy the SystemD configuration template:
 115
 116 ```
 117 $ sudo cp /var/www/peertube/peertube-latest/support/systemd/peertube.service /etc/systemd/system/
 118 ```
 119
 120 Update the service file:
 121
 122 ```
 123 $ sudo vim /etc/systemd/system/peertube.service
 124 ```
 125
 126
 127 Tell systemd to reload its config:
 128
 129 ```
 130 $ sudo systemctl daemon-reload
 131 ```
 132
 133 If you want to start PeerTube on boot:
 134
 135 ```
 136 $ sudo systemctl enable peertube
 137 ```
 138
 139 ### Run
 140
 141 ```
 142 $ sudo systemctl start peertube
 143 $ sudo journalctl -feu peertube
 144 ```
 145
 146 ### Administrator
 147
 148 The administrator password is automatically generated and can be found in the
 149 logs. You can set another password with:
 150
 151 ```
 152 $ cd /var/www/peertube/peertube-latest && NODE_CONFIG_DIR=/var/www/peertube/config NODE_ENV=production npm run reset-password -- -u root
 153 ```
 154
 155 Now you can subscribe to the mailing list for PeerTube administrators: https://framalistes.org/sympa/subscribe/peertube-admin

 157 ## Upgrade
 158
 159 #### Auto (minor versions only)
 160
 161 ```
 162 $ cd /var/www/peertube/peertube-latest/scripts && sudo -u peertube ./upgrade.sh
 163 $ sudo systemctl restart peertube && sudo journalctl -fu peertube
 164 ```
 165
 166 #### Manually
 167
 168 Make a SQL backup
 169
 170 ```
 171 $ SQL_BACKUP_PATH="backup/sql-peertube_prod-$(date -Im).bak" && \
 172     cd /var/www/peertube && sudo -u peertube mkdir -p backup && \
 173     sudo pg_dump -U peertube -W -h localhost -F c peertube_prod -f "$SQL_BACKUP_PATH"
 174 ```
 175
 176 Fetch the latest tagged version of Peertube:
 177
 178 ```
 179 $ VERSION=$(curl -s https://api.github.com/repos/chocobozzz/peertube/releases/latest | grep tag_name | cut -d '"' -f 4) && echo "Latest Peertube version is $VERSION"
 180 ```
 181
 182 Download the new version and unzip it:
 183
 184 ```
 185 $ cd /var/www/peertube/versions && \
 186     sudo -u peertube wget -q "https://github.com/Chocobozzz/PeerTube/releases/download/${VERSION}/peertube-${VERSION}.zip" && \
 187     sudo -u peertube unzip -o peertube-${VERSION}.zip && \
 188     sudo -u peertube rm peertube-${VERSION}.zip
 189 ```
 190
 191 Install node dependencies:
 192
 193 ```
 194 $ cd /var/www/peertube/versions/peertube-${VERSION} && \
 195     sudo -u peertube yarn install --production --pure-lockfile
 196 ```
 197
 198 Copy new configuration defaults values and update your configuration file:
 199
 200 ```
 201 $ sudo -u peertube cp /var/www/peertube/versions/peertube-${VERSION}/config/default.yaml /var/www/peertube/config/default.yaml
 202 $ diff /var/www/peertube/versions/peertube-${VERSION}/config/production.yaml.example /var/www/peertube/config/production.yaml
 203 ```
 204
 205 Change the link to point to the latest version:
 206
 207 ```
 208 $ cd /var/www/peertube && \
 209     sudo unlink ./peertube-latest && \
 210     sudo -u peertube ln -s versions/peertube-${VERSION} ./peertube-latest
 211 ```
 212
 213
 214 Restart PeerTube:
 215 ```
 216 $ sudo systemctl restart peertube
 217 ```
 218
 219 ### Things went wrong?
 220
 221 Change `peertube-latest` destination to the previous version and restore your SQL backup:
 222
 223 ```
 224 $ OLD_VERSION="v0.42.42" && SQL_BACKUP_PATH="backup/sql-peertube_prod-2018-01-19T10:18+01:00.bak" && \
 225     cd /var/www/peertube && unlink ./peertube-latest && \
 226     sudo -u peertube ln -s "versions/peertube-$OLD_VERSION" peertube-latest && \
 227     pg_restore -U peertube -W -h localhost -c -d peertube_prod "$SQL_BACKUP_PATH"
 228     sudo systemctl restart peertube
 229 ```
